Wouldn't it be fantastic if they extended the large asphalt Cart Path on Morris, I mean Morse further towards 466. The section they did just finish that ends at Hacienda CC is perfect. Probably after there is an incident it will stir up some interest.

Be Careful!
One more spot that only caught me the first time it happened:

where the bridge to Sumter begins. That one spot. You have to leave the road and enter the cart path on the bridge. But there's a very very narrow slice of driveable area you enter onto, and if you go just an inch too far over to the right, you bump the golf cart against a VERY high curb where the cart lane ends and the bridge begins.

I did bump my cart. Hard, even though I was only going maybe 8 MPH because it was at night and raining, I had never driven this section of road before, and I was terrified.

Thankfully no actual damage to me or the cart, there was a scrape mark on the tire, which washed off in the rain that night.

Plus I knew it was there at that point, so never had the problem again.

Scary though the first time it happens!
